Latest in fatal shooting case

Edward O’Rourke was in Wilton Town Court Tuesday, but did not entered a plea to the charge against him.

O’Rourke, 56, was charged in December with endangering the welfare of a child after his son, 12-year-old Michael O’Rourke, accidentally shot and killed his friend Nicholas Naumkin, also 12. According to a statement from Saratoga County Sheriff Jim Bowen, the boys were playing with Edward O’Rourke’s handgun, which they found in his bedroom at the O’Rourke house.

The defendant’s appearance in Wilton Town Court set off a media stampede as he made his way across the parking lot with his lawyer, Jeff Bagnoli. He did not answer reporters’ questions and left in a car driven by an unidentified woman. See the story and more pictures here.
